My god, just let things alone.
It'll never end. They are gonna remake/ sequel/ prequel every classic until there's nothing left
There needs to be sone sort of statute of limitations on film. Like if one of the main characters is old enough to be a grandpa then no sequel or whatever
I got my kids to watch the Goonies and they didn't get into it.
Make a new thing for a new generation of kids to love.
What's wrong with your kids?
they didn't grow up in the 80s 😞
I mean, to be fair I was the right age for this movie, but it just never crossed my tv set. My Goonies was The Sandlot. I watched Goonies somewhat later in life and…it’s just not my childhood movie. So it was meh to me. Different strokes.
You're killing me, Smalls

My brothers loved this movie. I hated The Goonies as a kid. It was a bad story that made little to no sense to me.
I agree you have to hit these movies at the right time as I was almost 20 when the Sandlot came out and that movie did nothing for me.
The stereotypes Gen X grew up with that are the characters in this movie don’t work these days. Even the kids being kinda feral isn’t the same. They can’t relate.
Please be a true sequel. Bring the boys back from their office jobs to go on a treasure hunt.
If they HAVE to make a sequel, at least let it be good.

Hollywood: ...no.
Hahaha
It's another sequel that nobody wants and shouldn't be made.
My wife and I recently rewatched The Goonies for the first time since childhood. My God the screaming! 80% of the "dialog" in this movie is constant screaming. We barely made it through the movie.
Just watch Skeleton Crew, it's basically Goonies in space. Jude Law is the real treasure though.
I was gonna say, they're just trying to cash in after seeing the success of Skeleton crew. Great watch, and my kids loved it.
I watched The Goonies in theaters a while ago and it was super cool! Do that and not make a sequel. How creatively bankrupt are we that a 2025 sequel for a 90s movie is even a consideration?
80s
wut
Ah yes. This is the perfect time for another ableist jaunt.
FUCK YOU, IT'S ~~JANUARY~~ FOREVER
How many 80’s (or 90’s) classics reboots can you name that were at least good?
